[Docket No. CP14-545-000]
Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Application
On August 28, 2014, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern)
filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) an
application under section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of
the Commission's Regulations for its proposed Bailey East Mine Panel 2L
Project (Project). Texas Eastern proposes to replace and temporarily
elevate sections of three different pipelines in order to monitor and
mitigate potential strains and stresses on these pipelines that could
result from longwall coal mining activities planned by Consol Energy,
Inc. in the area beneath Texas Eastern's existing pipeline facilities
in Greene County, Pennsylvania. The Project will ensure the safe and
efficient operation of these pipeline facilities throughout the
duration of the longwall mining activities, scheduled to occur in early
2016. Texas Eastern requests that the Commission grant the requested
authorizations by February 15, 2015.
Questions concerning this application may be directed to Lisa A.
Connolly, General Manager, Rates and Certificates, at Texas Eastern
Transmission, LP, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, by calling
713-627-4102, by Fax at (713) 627-5947, or by emailing
[email protected].
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
[[Page 54976]]
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit seven copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an
original and five copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC
20426. This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov using
the ``eLibrary'' link and is available for electronic review in the
Commission's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an
``eSubscription'' link on the Web site that enables subscribers to
receive email notification when a document is added to a subscribed
docket(s). For assistance with any FERC Online service, please email
[email protected], or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For
TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 29, 2014.
Dated: September 8, 2014.

Secretary.
